The Premises have the address and contain the square footage specified in the Basic Lease Information; provided, however, that any statement of square footage set forth in this Lease is an approximation which Landlord and Tenant agree is reasonable and no economic terms based thereon shall be subject to revision whether or not the actual square footage is more or less. Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Premises by surrendering the JMZ and/or S Building back to Landlord upon 30 days written notice.

Tenant accepts the Premises in its current condition and configuration without any representations or warranties by Landlord, and subject to all matters of record and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. Tenant acknowledges that it is currently in possession and has been in possession of the Property under that certain Lease and Covenant Not to Develop, dated September 1, 1989, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1, dated July 21, 1998, and as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2, dated August 13, 2002, and , and as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 3, dated as of January 1, 2015 (collectively the “Original Lease”).

14. CONDEMNATION.

If the whole or if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under either state or federal law, by eminent domain or purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”), and (a) such Taking renders the Premises unsuitable, in Tenant’s reasonable opinion, for the purposes for which they were leased; or (b) the Premises cannot be repaired, restored or replaced at reasonable expense to an economically profitable unit, then Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease as of the date possession vests in the condemning party. If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises is taken and if the Premises remaining after such Taking would be untenantable (in Tenant’s reasonable opinion) for the conduct of Tenant’s business operations, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date possession vests in the condemning party. The termination shall be effective as of the effective date of any order granting possession to, or vesting legal title in, the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, Base Rent shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards or any interest thereon which may be paid or made in connection with any such Taking, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of any award for the value of Tenant’s fixture, equipment and personal property (specifically excluding components of the Premises which under this Lease or by law are or at the expiration of the Term will become the property of Landlord, including, without limitation, fixtures and Alterations).

(a) Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent when due, if payment in full is not received by Landlord within twenty five (25) days after written notice that it is past due.

(b) Tenant fails to perform or comply with any provision of this Lease and does not fully cure such failure within ninety (90) days after notice to Tenant or, if such failure cannot be cured within such ninety (90) day period, Tenant fails within such period to commence, and thereafter diligently proceed with, all actions necessary to cure such failure as soon as reasonably possible.

collect or levy as of the Commencement Date of this Lease, the City may terminate this Lease in whole or in part as hereinafter set forth, by giving six (6) months prior written notice to Landlord after such law, measure or decision becomes effective; provided, however, there shall be no right of termination unless the effect of such law, measure or decision is to reduce the City’s general fund revenue or taxing authority by one million, five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000.00) from the previous fiscal year.

In accordance with Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby discloses that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist for purposes of determining whether the property has or does not meet all applicable construction related accessibility standards pursuant to Civil Code Section 55.53. A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the

16

Page 18: PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AS LANDLORD · 2020-05-24 · United States of America, the State of California, the City of Palo Alto, or any other political or public entity,

22.13 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions.

22.14 Entire Agreement.
